6:2 | After two days will he revive us: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. |
6:3 | Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth. |
6:4 | O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness is as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. |
6:5 | Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. |
6:6 | For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings. |
6:7 | But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. |
6:8 | Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood. |
6:9 | And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. |
6:10 | I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the prostitution of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. |
6:11 | Also, O Judah, he hath set a harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people. |
Noah Webster's Bible 1833
While Noah Webster, just a few years after producing his famous Dictionary of the English Language, produced his own modern translation of the English Bible in 1833; the public remained too loyal to the King James Version for Webster’s version to have much impact.
